| Wells Audio / AVA Synergy / PrimaLuna DiaLouge Premium HP Hey Scott,To be totally transparent, the Magestic I heard was not a stock Magestic. The unit had been upgraded with all of the components that are inside the Innomarata, so I couldn't give you my honest opinion. With that said, I trust Jeff Wells ... | |
| Wells Audio / AVA Synergy / PrimaLuna DiaLouge Premium HP Hi all,I wanted to update everyone on how my amplifer search went, in hopes that I can help someone else who is in a similar situation to mine. To cut to the chase - I now have a Line Magnetic 518ia, have done some tube rolling, and I'm absolutely... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? Sorry avdweeb--been a while. I haven’t heard the AVA components and, although I’ve heard Prima Luna at shows, it was not at length and not enough to form an opinion. I would say that if you pair the Wells up with a nice tube preamp, you will not b... | |
| Wells Audio / AVA Synergy / PrimaLuna DiaLouge Premium HP Hi all,I’ve been thinking more about this, and since I’m really interested in trying tubes, I’m leaning towards the PL and a few of its competitors. Does anyone have any thoughts on:Jolida 3502S w/ KT150’s (~$2,000 new)PrimaLuna Dialouge Premium H... | |
| Wells Audio / AVA Synergy / PrimaLuna DiaLouge Premium HP Well at this point I think it's going to be between the PrimaLuna and Wells Audio... This'll be tough!! | |
| Wells Audio / AVA Synergy / PrimaLuna DiaLouge Premium HP I use an Eastern Electric Avant 8 tube pre with my Snergy 450 and findit has more "air" and bigger soundstage than my Bryston BP-6 which is a well-reviewed SS pre . Not by all that much though. If I listened to rock I would just use a SS . Moder... | |
| Wells Audio / AVA Synergy / PrimaLuna DiaLouge Premium HP AVA Synergy 450 sounds like a big modern(read not-"tubey") to me /Fine amp, would hope the innamorata is better as it costs $ 5,000 more!Thanks for your response. I guess my question is, if I use a tube pre-amp, how much of the tube sound gets tra... | |
| Wells Audio / AVA Synergy / PrimaLuna DiaLouge Premium HP Yeah, that's one of my thoughts - but Wells Audio is now showing with Salk as well. People say they're one of the most natural amps, and even tube die hards have said its the only solid state they'd buy.So I guess I'm lost on getting a true tube e... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? As a dyed in the wool tube fan--the ONLY amp would consider purchasing (under 30k) is the Wells Innomorata. I heard it with Salks in one system and Claravus in another. The closest to tubes I have ever heard. It's also a very nice looking amp IMHO... | |
| Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??. I've also been considering the PrimaLuna, but I'm also concerned about bass response. My Salk Audio HT2-TL's go down to 34hz, and my solid state Caimbridge Audio 840A V2 takes them there with no issues. I really don't want to give up any bass exte... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? Has anyone looked at Wells Audio? I'm considering their Innomorata vs the Conrad Johnson CA150 vs PrimaLuna gear to drive my Salk HT2-TL's with Chord Hugo TT. |
